Re: [Boost-users] [multi_index] thread safety

Regarding thread safety, if threads are concurrently reading, inserting, and erasing entries in a multi-index container do you have to lockguard all of these operations or can you get away with just lockguarding the inserts and the deletes?

Thanks, Allen.

Oh, oh. multi_index_container is *not* thread safe, so
this smells like the problem --and it is not, it certainly
has the potential to crash your app sooner or later.
Please take into account thread unsafety extends to
every member function of multi_index_container, so
you'd better lockguard *every* public method of
Procedure_Pool.
